Chapter 48: Trouble at Xihe Courtyard
When talking about this incident, Manager Zhang's face was full of resentment. He slammed the bed hard, but forgot that he was still injured.
Instantly, severe pain came again, and Manager Zhang's whole old face was wrinkled in pain, looking extremely hideous and terrifying.
"Master, master, are you okay?" Seeing this, Manager Zhang's wife hurried forward.
Nanny Chen was stunned. "What? You gave all the money to An Qingqian more than four months ago?"
"Yes." Manager Zhang nodded.
"Then why didn't you tell the old lady? Why are you telling her about this now?" Nanny Chen was immediately furious.
"I arranged for many people to pass the message to the old lady, but the messengers could not enter Changshou Hall, and An Qingqian pressed us hard. We had no choice but to hand over the silver."
Manager Zhang also looked helpless. He had sent people to deliver messages to Zhang and Nanny Chen, but there was no response.
With no other choice, he had to give the silver to An Qingqian.
"Can't send it in? This little bitch!" As soon as Manager Zhang said this, Nanny Chen immediately understood that it must be An Qingqian's doing.
She must have asked someone to stop the person delivering the letter!
"How much silver did you give her in total?" Nanny Chen felt increasingly bad.
"Three hundred and thirty thousand taels of silver."
"So much? You gave it to her just because she asked?" Upon hearing this astronomical figure, Nanny Chen stood up from her chair in shock.
"We had no choice. I don't know what means she used to get the real account book, and she threatened us that if we didn't hand over the money, she would send the account book to the government and arrest us.
We have no other options and can't wait for the old lady's reply, so we thought of handing over the silver first, and when we contact you later, we will ask the old lady to find a way to get the silver back.
However, in the past few months, our people have not been able to enter the Changshou Hall, let alone the Marquis' Mansion.
It was the day before yesterday that the Marquis came to me, but I didn’t expect something like this to happen again.”
Manager Zhang was so angry that he beat his chest and stamped his feet as he spoke.
"This evil-hearted girl, I will make sure the old lady punish her when I go back." Nanny Chen couldn't believe what she heard. Anger surged in her heart, and even her hands couldn't control the shaking.
That was 330,000 taels of silver, and it was all taken away by An Qingqian.
Without money, what is the use of the old lady's power as housekeeper?
After hearing this, Nanny Chen no longer wanted to stay.
This matter was too serious, she had to go back immediately to report to her wife and ask her to take out all the silver.
That money must not remain in An Qingqian's hands.
"Madame Chen, tell the old lady to get all the silver back. I and other stewards pawned a lot of things at the pawnshop to get the silver. We even sold my two houses."
It was too difficult to gather all that money in a short period of time. He originally thought that the money would be returned to them soon, so he mortgaged everything without hesitation.
Who would have thought that after the silver was gone, there would be no news of it again.
The things he mortgaged were also taken away by those people.
He had lost at least 100,000 taels of silver. He was anxious and regretful, but he had no choice but to send someone to inquire when Xue Wanxian would return.
"Okay, okay, I got it. I will report it to the old lady when I get back." What Nanny Chen is most worried about now is the silver. As for Manager Zhang's things, she can only blame himself for being stupid.
However, she would not say this explicitly, but just pretended that she knew it.
Nanny Chen hurriedly took people back to the Marquis' Mansion and even forgot to deal with Wang Xiaowu's matter.
"Madam, it's not good, madam, it's not good!" Nanny Chen trembled and ran quickly into Mingde Courtyard.
In the past two days, Zhang was worried about Xue Wanxian's injuries, so she stayed directly in Mingdeyuan, and her room was right next to Xue Wanxian's room.
"What's wrong? Why are you making so much noise, Aunt Chen, do you still have any manners?"
Nanny Chen's voice was so loud that it woke up Xue Wanxian who had just fallen asleep. Only then did Zhang get angry.
"Madam, this is bad. I just went to find Manager Zhang. Manager Zhang said that four months ago, An Qingqian threatened him to hand over 330,000 taels of silver. Now all the shops are losing money and they can't get any money."
"An Qingqian? Three hundred and thirty thousand taels of silver? What on earth is going on?" Zhang frowned and spoke in a stern tone.
Nanny Chen quickly told Zhang everything that had happened four months ago, as well as what had happened in the palace yesterday.
After hearing this, Zhang became furious.
"This damn little bitch actually dared to do such a thing behind my back. It's so abominable."
"Madame Chen, bring your people with me to Xiheyuan right now. I want her to return all the money to me, not a single cent missing!"
There was fire in Zhang's eyes, the corners of his mouth twitched, and his face looked extremely ferocious.
Zhang sat in a sedan chair and went to Xiheyuan with a group of people.
Xue Wanxian had heard everything that was said just now. He knew the truth of the matter, but he was very dissatisfied that An Qingqian took away so much silver.
In his opinion, An Qingqian was a scheming person. Not only did she spend the money, she also threatened the managers to hand over all the money to her.
Zhang should teach her a lesson.
Although An Qingqian no longer has the power of housekeeper, most people in the mansion still support An Qingqian.
So, as soon as there was any movement here, An Qingqian got the news.
Zhang was not polite and did not even ask anyone to open the door.
He actually called two guards to break down the door. The two of them held big hammers in their hands and smashed the gate of Xiheyuan into pieces in just a few hits.
Seeing this, the maid working in the yard was so frightened that she trembled and hurried in to report to An Qingqian.
An Qingqian did not expect that Zhang would use such a rough method and bring people to break into Xihe Courtyard. She really did not care about her face at all.
"Madam, what are you doing?" Seeing the gate of her yard smashed like this, An Qingqian couldn't hide her anger.
"An Qingqian, let me tell you, I came here today for only one purpose. As long as you hand over the 330,000 taels of silver, this matter will be over. If you can't hand it over, don't blame me for being rude to you."
Zhang sat in the sedan chair and did not get down. She just stared at An Qingqian from above, trying to overwhelm her with her aura, so that she would feel afraid and hand over the silver.
Seeing Zhang's street-shrew-like appearance, An Qingqian couldn't help but sneer.
